debt and to meet its obligations
The balance sheet of Nike shows that cash and equivalents did increased in 2014-2015
(nearly 1.8 times), which is a good indicator of growth From 2015 to 2016, it declined from
3,852,000 to 3,138,000 and this is the sign for Nike to reinvest if they want to make more
profit Account receivables of Nike slightly decreased or declined from 2014 to 2016
Though there was a decrease in account receivables, the inventories of Nike have been
continuously increasing from 2014 to 2015 and from 2015 to 2016
Nike’s current assets increased in 2014 to 2015 (an amount of 1,891,000$), but there is a
small decrease from 2015 to 2016 (about 562,000$) Also, property, plant and equipment also
increased from 2014, 2015 and into 2016, which shows that Nike is increasing its size

2 Income statement analysis
Revenue
Revenue growth rate in each period:
Period
Index
Nike’s Revenue and Gross profit is increasing annually from 2014-2016 But in the period of
2015-2016, the revenue seems to be a half lower than the last period 2014-2015 (5.8% with
10.08%) and so does the gross profit (6.43% with 13.02%) The reason is the hyper strong
growth of Nike’s biggest rival, Adidas In early 2015, Adidas was underperforming Nike in
the key US sportwear market, but with the new marketing strategies and the releasing of a
series of new shoes such as Alpha Bounce and Yeezy, Adidas company has been able to
Trang 6industry and one of the top revenue earners.
Costs and expenses:
The increasing of the costs is essential and unavoidable to improve the working performance,
in order to increase the sales revenue The main costs are cost of good sold (COGS) and
Selling, General and Administrative(SGA) cost Cost of goods sold keeps track of how much
it costs a business to produce or purchase a good or service to be sold to customers, while
SGA consist of the combined payroll costs Both kinds of costs are having an reasonable
increasing rate of approximately 8% per year in Nike income statement
EBIT
Although the costs is increasing, Nike company still could manage to increase the EBIT
over years ($3.68b in 2014, $4.175b in 2015 and $4.5b in 2016) EBIT index shows people
how well the company is doing and how effective the operating activities are having In this
case, Nike company is having an excellent performance The increasing EBIT of Nike is a
really good sign for attracting some new investments into the company, or raising funds from
the public

($2.693b in 2014, $3.273b in 2015 and $3.760 in 2016) Increasing in net income is always a
positive sign for every corporation company Firstly, it allows Nike to pay more dividends to
stockholders, therefore increases the stability of Nike’s stock Secondly, it increases the

3 Ratio analysis
Short-term solvency ratios or liquidity measures provide information to determine a
company's ability to pay off its short-term debt obligations There are three ratios, which fall
under liquidity ratio They are current, quick and cash ratio These ratios tell how efficiently
an organization can transform its security into cash
Current Ratio
NIKE inc always has the current ratio gone around 2.5~2.8, in 2014 it was 2.72 times,
reducing to 2.46 in 2015 and then went up to 2.80 in 2016 These ratios indicate that over the
past three years, NIKE has been able to pay all the short-term debts.Reinvestment should be
more taken into consideration by NIKE because the ratios are quite big in 2016 and not really
the good sign for the company’s profitability
Quick Ratio & Cash ratio
These ratios show the ability that the most liquid assets (excluding inventory) available can
easily cover all the current liabilities All current and quick ratios of Nike in the
3-year-period, from 2014 to 2016 can show that this company has more assets than liabilities and be
Trang 8Long-term Solvency 2016 2015 2014
Debt ratio
Based on this data, we see that in 2014, NIKE Company had $0.42 in debt for every $1.00 in
assets, indicating $0.58 cents in equity In 2015, it had $0.41 in debt for every $1.00 in assets,
therefore raising equity to $0.59 Lastly, in 2016, NIKE had $0.43 in debt for every $1.00 in
assets, thus equity to $0.57 NIKE is a large and well-established company, they can multiple
income from customers, so it is acceptable with debt level round 40% through years
Debt-Equity ratio
As we can see, the debt-equity ratio of NIKE Company fluctuated between small differences
over the course of three years For example, in 2016 NIKE had the D/E ratio by 0,75 times,
which means they had $0.75 of debt to every dollar of equity With low D/E ratio, the
company makes them low risk to the bank and they can easily loan from banks
Trang 9companies in their overall industry Profit margins are expressed as a percentage and, in
effect, measure how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps
in earnings.NIKE’s profit margin increased by around 1% year by year, from 2014 to 2016
In 2014, the company had net income of $9.68 for each dollar of sales In 2015, that number
of net income went up to $10.69 and in 2016, for each dollar of total revenue earned, NIKE
generated $11.61 in profit
Comparing to other strong competitors in sportwears manufacturing industry such as
Adidas, NIKE’s profit margin is always standing higher, because Profit margin of
Adidas Group in 2016 and 2015 equal 5.28% and 3.78%, respectively
Return on Total Assets
This information reveals that NIKE has a healthy return on assets percentage Compared to
others competitors, NIKE’s percentages are pretty higher Therefore, in the large-scale,
diversified sports equipment industry, NIKE appears to be ahead of its competition in this
area
Return on Common Equity
These numbers show that NIKE provides a decent return for investors From 2014 to 2015,
investors’ return gained about 3.5% increase and from 2015 to 2016, investors’ return gained
about 19% increase-it is a significant change While the numbers fluctuate, they indicate that
investors can generally anticipate returns greater than 10% For risk-averse investors, this
may be a really tempting option
Trang 104 Cashflow statement analysis
We notice that Nike’s net income increased dramatically from 2,6 billion to 3,8 billions
respectively from 2014 to 2016 But the cash flow also is affected by 3 others categories
which are operating activities, investing activities and financing activities
The first factor of cash flow analysis is the operating activities, which is related to Nike’s
company core business activities such as manufacturing, maintaining, marketing and selling
process There are quite differences between 3 years’ asset depreciations, which can be
explained by the expansion of manufacturing equipment Noticeably, adjusted net income is
an indicator of how much a business would be worth to new owners, so in 2015 there are
more changes in number of owners in Nike, which had doubled adjusted net income which is
nearly 502 million dollars It is obvious that there is a huge contrast in changes in liabilities
and account receivable between 2014-2015 and 2016 In first 2 years Nike got the money out
flow because of the deviations in account receivable, when it turned nearly $200 million of
accounts receivables into cash during the period, because these receivables were for net
income earned in a prior period On the other hand, they got positive cash flow from in
changes in liabilities In 2015, the company gained more than 1 billion from this
transformation To sum up, all 3 years brought to Nike the positive cash flow and 2015’s
inflow cash was higher than others closely $1 million
The investment reflects the company’s purchases and buys during the period According the
report, Nike total capital expenditure raised from $800 million in 2014 to nearly $1,1 billion
in 2016, which is the primary driver for the decrease of cash in net income The company
obtained extra cash from investing activities ($700 million in 2015 and $93 million in 2016
separately); however, it lost nearly $300 million because of investing actions in 2014 In
Trang 11more than $1 billion negative cash flow.
Finally, financing activities is the external activities to issue stock to raise cash Fitting to the
report, the amount of money that Nike had to pay to the dividends rose through 3 years,
which started from $800 million to $900 million to over $1 billion As a part of its plan, the
company repurchased around 2 – 2,2 billion dollars of stock to return value to stockholders
In order to fund recent acquisitions of its partnership share in certain joint ventures, Nike
borrowed approximately 900 million dollars in 2016 In contrast, in 2014 and 2015, Nike
didn’t have to borrow money to obtain their obligation
III Nike performance
From the income statement, it can be seen clearly that the company is improving from one
year to another Revenue, operating income, and net income have an upward trend from the
year 2014 to 2016 The same case is observed in the balance sheet whereby the value of the
company has an increasing trend Total shareholders equity and total liabilities increase for
$18.181 billion in 2014 to $20.984 billion in 2016 Thus, the company performance is good
A healthy improvement is shown in the net income of the company as well as the revenue
and Gross profits have increased to double figure which is a good sign for the company`s
financial health Although, selling general and administrative expenses have been increased
to double figure that should be maintained as a single figure for good financial health of the
company
The growth profit was working well as it was nearly stable improving while the net profit and
operation profit was un stable and un expected result that reflect an issue in operating in the
Trang 12more from its assets
Nike's current ratio increased from 2.72 in 2014 to 2.93 in 2016 This shows that the
company has a strong balance sheet and can pay off its obligations The current ratio means
that Nike can easily pay off any short term debts which indicates a low risk company This
low risk is great because Nike is also a high return company The firms market\book ratio has
increased over the 2014-2016 period the firm appears to be growing and has recently
undergone an expansion in assets financed primarily through the use of debt The market
response to these accomplishment appears to have been positive finally The firm seems to
have done well

potential and current investor can feel confident that they are investing in a solid, growing
